afcop13 Pillar of the Community United States 1409 Posts	Posted 05/09/2010 12:48 am Hi everyone. I picked up this Walker in a lot of 20 on the Bay. I paid about $7 for it (and every other coin in the lot). There is a fairly nasty ding at 8:30 near the rim. Other than that, its just normal wear. Doesn't appear to have ever been cleaned, and has better color than the pics provide. I filled 9 holes with this lot, so it was well worth it to me as I set out to finish a Walker set. The 38D is also on the way, obtained in another 20 coin lot, at a better price. Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6384 Posts	Posted 05/09/2010 4:28 pm I'd call it G4, and well worth $7 even with the dig. That should fill that annoying hole in your set, at least until a nicer one comes along. Report this Post to the Staff
johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 05/09/2010 6:05 pm I think it has G-6 details at least imo. There is a lot of rim and date, and most G-4s I've seen are lacking in these. Report this Post to the Staff
afcop13 Pillar of the Community United States 1409 Posts	Posted 05/09/2010 9:04 pm G4 is fine by me. It'll fill the hole while I focus on other dates until a reasonable upgrade pops up. Report this Post to the Staff

Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 05/09/2010 11:31 pm Just a review (mostly for me!) Walking Liberty Half Dollar General Grading Standards G4 Good - Rims are defined. Motto IN GOD WE TRUST readable. VG8 Very Good - Motto is distinct. About half of shirt lines at left are clear. F12 Fine - All skirt lines evident, but worn in spots. Details in sandal below motto are clear. VF20 Very Fine - Skirt lines sharp including leg area. Little wear on breast and right arm. EF40 Extremely Fine - All skirt lines bold. AU50 About Uncirculated - Slight trace of wear on head, knee and breast tips also on the claws and head. MS60 Uncirculated - No trace of wear. Light blemishes. MS63 Select Uncirculated - Some distracting contact marks or blemishes in prime focal areas. Luster may be impaired. MS65 Choice Uncirculated - No trace of wear. Barely noticeable blemishes. PF65 - Choice Brilliant surfaces with no noticeable blemishes or flaws. May have a few scattered barely noticeable marks or hairlines. G-4 is a definite, but not VG-8. So G-6 it is! Here's mine. (Not much better than a G-6 either). Edited by Moe145 05/09/2010 11:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff
steve199 Pillar of the Community United States 1882 Posts	Posted 05/10/2010 11:40 am Moe, according to Bruce Fox, for 1921 and before, the skirt lines should be ignored for grading. I think your 1916 is VG8. I'm not as organized as afcop, but I formatted the following document and put it in my nerdy notebook for quick reference: http://www.stellacoinnews.com/index...nical-grade/ Report this Post to the Staff
Ceylon62 Pillar of the Community United States 1285 Posts	Posted 05/11/2010 06:46 am Steve / Moe, et al The same thing (21 and Pre) is mentioned in ANA grading standards (1991) which I have been using. So does this mean that it gets bumped up a grade? Thanks Also the same book states that a lot of the 40-46 SF strikes are weak and a few others others. How do weak strikes come into play when grading? Thanks again. AFC, nice score for the $'s invested. I paid a lot more. Peace Report this Post to the Staff
steve199 Pillar of the Community United States 1882 Posts	Posted 05/11/2010 10:31 am Ceylon, it appears the rim is just about touching a few letters on the reverse, so the best your coin would be G6 in my opinion. As far as strike: that doesn't affect the grade until you get middle MS range...and MS65 can have an average strike. Report this Post to the Staff
